Immune aspects in tuberculosis relapse

The relapse of tuberculosis is associated with the host’s immune system failure to control the body’s immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Expressed immune disorders characterize the recurrence of tuberculosis, data reflected in contemporary specialized literature. The knowledge of the immunological mechanisms characteristic of the recidivism of tuberculosis can facilitate the rational selection of immunoterapeutic medication, the design of effective vaccines and the evaluation of their effectiveness, the evaluation of new drugs and in the development of new immunodiagnostic tools.
